Jean Claude (Writer)
Jean Claude is a 27 year old aspiring spiritual writer from Los Angeles, California. Having a background and career in Behavioral Therapy and Applied Behavioral Analysis, there is a strong undercurrent of psychology to his work.

“Upon honest evaluation he began to realize that the only thing more common than the command of “love thy neighbor as thyself” within these religions, was humanity’s inability to apply it.”
“”Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
And thy neighbour as thyself.”
It seems so simple, yet is it so hard
To work this on oneself?”
– From the poem “J.C.”
(From “Sunrise Over Avalon” by ST Coleridge & RL Hawkins)

You are so right. What I always liked about his writing is that it speaks clearly, touches the heart and… behind the written words an entire new world is revealed.
Thank you for your comment, Ed!
I love his mystical style. He speaks clearly, and touches the heart. Beautiful!
